I had a friend that went to jail years ago who was like, "No way I jerking off in this place with all these dudes around," when he first arrived. Two weeks later he was jacking it in his bunk just like everyone else.

Hitler was President of the US?

Just as I read that, the big instrumental section on Queen's 'Good Company' played. (Note that all the instruments on that song are guitars.)

Yeah, the plan has a lot in common with earlier republican plans. It's like how they loved cap & trade until a democrat wanted to do it.
The really do want to make Obama look bad, though. The product I work on is being used in Arizona as part of Obamacare administration. The sales team told us the other day that…

Roberts wasn't on the court for Bush v Gore.

Yeah, it does seem like no one involved understood the definition of the word broadcast.

There people that believe that Roberts voted for Obamacare because a typical party line decision would have undermined public trust in the court and that that would be his legacy. That makes little sense given the myriad other party line decision, but I suppose that doesn't mean it's not true. Obamacare was, after…

This reminds me of when I first read Sirens of Titan at age 17. I pictured Beatrice Rumfoord as a matronly Bea Arthur type. I recently re-read Sirens of Titan at age 50 — turns out she's 35.

Well, he was right about Palin. And the GM thing sounds like him pointing out that the timing is such that the woman will get the blame for all the prior mens' fuck ups.

I don't know any left-wingers that would call single out Nancy Pelosi as a "useless fucking cvnt" to make a point. Of all the people in the world that he could have picked, he picked her. That and he uses pretty much all the same language that the far right uses in these situations.

Rumor was that the cops in London used to prevent the parents of the 14 year olds that Paul McCartney slept with from getting into the hotels where they were back at the height of Beatlemania.

I've always liked Maher, so I must be wearing rose-colored glasses — why is he a misogynist?

Ugh. I 've always considered Oldman the finest actor of his generation. It really sucks to find out he's a right-wing nutjob.

And while we're on the subject, how the fuck is Disqus still in business? Do they only log, like, 10% of their users off 20 times a day? Is it only the AV Club that they do that to? I know the folks here bitch about it constantly, so it doesn't seem as though it's not a pretty serious issue. Is it just that web…

Is anyone else no longer able to login to the AV Club using Chrome? They pushed an upgrade the other day (which I only know about because it also screwed up a plugin that I need for work) and since then I haven't been able to get in. If I click the little silhouette on the main page, nothing happens. If I click…

A friend of mine was an editor and used to write joke headlines for some of the puff-piece type stories that he editied. The joke headlines would always be changed by someone further down the line — except for one time when a local doctor's monthly column accidentally went to print with the headline "Pancreatic…

Supposedly, the members of Aerosmith were planning to beat the shit out of the Bee Gees, but opted not to in order to avoid getting arrested. It would have been awesome if they'd done it. It would have been more awesome if they'd tried and the Bee Gees kicked their asses.

It pretty much destroyed the careers of all the musicians that appeared in it, or at least destroyed the cred of the rock performers anyway.

Ugh. I learned "negging" and "sharking" in the same week and now I hate humanity a little bit more than last week.

I meant that my tone probably sucked, not the MXR. I've always wanted to get another one, but just never got around to it.
